NOTES TO A FRIEND

NOTES TO A FRIEND

I FELT THE NEED TO SAY SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
TO TAKE THE STING FROM AN UNHAPPY DAY
TO CHANGE THE WIND TO PINE TREE SIGHING
THE RAIN TO DEWDROPS GLISTEN
AND SO I SAID YOUR NAME

IT IS NOT THAT I IGNORE YOU
YOU PERMEATE MY DAY
SO I FEEL NO NEED TO TELL YOU WHERE I AM
OR HOW I FEEL
YOU ARE NOT AWAY

BLUE FLOWERS IN A RAIN DRENCHED FIELD
BRIGHT AGAINST THE AUTUMN TURNING GRASS
A BIT OF COLOR ON A GRAY GRAY DAY
SO MY FRIEND WAS SEEING YOU
NO MATTER HOW BRIEF THE HOUR
A TOUCH OF WARMTH
THAT WILL LINGER
LONG AFTER FLOWER HAS JOINED THE GRASS IN AUTUMN

I THINK THIS YEAR WILL BE FOR ME
THE YEAR THAT HAD NO WINTER
FOR EACH TIME THE CHILL CREEPS IN
THE SUN YOU SET WITHIN MY HEART
DRIVES OUT THE COLD
